Detroit’s first televised mayoral debate at Wayne State on June 16 saw nonprofit CEO Saunteel Jenkins “drop the gloves,” targeting former Police Chief James Craig’s tough-on-crime stance and other rivals in a memorable closing.

Jenkins and Rev. Solomon Kinloch agreed Detroit’s affordable housing “failure” demands abatements and community grants—even as Mary Sheffield highlights a $1 billion investment and pushes property tax reform.

Craig struggled with the clock, unable to fully explain his “CityStats” accountability tool and emphasizing the nonpartisan nature of the race.

All candidates debated new revenue streams—Jenkins’ proposed penny tax to cut property taxes and Sheffield’s funding reforms—while Kinloch argued that job creation, not more policing, will reduce crime.

With the Aug. 5 primary looming, Detroit voters want leaders who deliver results.

Detroit Mayor Debate Recap:

Held at Wayne State University, top contenders—James Craig, Mary Sheffield, Rev. Solomon Kinloch, and Saunteel Jenkins—clashed in a high-stakes showdown ahead of the Aug. 5 primary.

The debate shifted gears when Jenkins delivered pointed closing remarks, challenging opponents on guns in schools, part-time leadership, and affordable housing failures.

Sheffield pushed her half-penny tax plan for revenue growth, Craig called for a forensic audit, Kinloch emphasized spiritual leadership, and Jenkins proposed a citywide penny tax to stabilize funding—an estimated $100 million annually.

Moderated by WDIV and AARP, the forum highlighted economic development, housing solutions, and accountability. Detroit voters are now weighing who truly understands the city’s challenges and will show up when it counts. 🗳️🔑

Michigan lawmakers are backing the Tenant Empowerment Package—a group of four bills aimed at protecting renters across the state.

If approved, landlords would:

🏠 Respond to safety or habitability issues within 48 hours (Senate Bills 19–20), or risk tenants withholding rent or making repairs and deducting costs

đź’˛ Provide a full 90-day notice before rent increases at lease end (Senate Bill 21)

💳 Return security deposits electronically—thanks to Senate Bill 22, unanimously cleared by committee

What do you think about this development? 🗳️

Detroit’s ShotStoppers community violence interventionists took their fight to Lansing.

The United Methodist Church was filled across from the State Capitol to urge lawmakers to pass HB 4260 & HB 4261 and unlock $1.5 M in Public Safety Trust Fund grants.

After a powerful shoutout from Live in Peace Movement’s founder Pastor Mo, Anthony Harris delivered a rallying call: “Take off the masks”—a reminder that everyone deserves to walk our streets safely.
